EL PASO, Texas — White House Border Czar Tom Homan’s visit to the University of Texas at El Paso on Thursday sparked both enthusiastic support and vocal opposition, turning the campus into a divided scene over immigration policy.

Homan spoke at an event hosted by Turning Point USA, where organizers say roughly 500 people filled the auditorium to hear his remarks. Inside, he delivered a sharp message on illegal immigration, calling for stricter enforcement and defending the administration’s approach along the southern border.

“At the University of Texas at El Paso, we are not sending the message to the whole world that it’s ok to enter illegally… when you cross the border illegally, you are a cheater and put yourself in front of the line of millions who are doing it the right way,” Homan said.

While Homan addressed the crowd indoors, dozens of protesters gathered outside the venue. Demonstrators, many of them students and local immigrants’ rights advocates, criticized his role in shaping federal immigration enforcement and the impact they believe his policies have had on families in the borderland.

“He is the one promoting this idea that it is okay to deport U.S. citizen children. We believe that message is not necessarily welcome in El Paso or in UTEP,” said Fernando García, Director of the Border Network for Human Rights.

Supporters inside the auditorium said they attended because they view Homan as a knowledgeable and credible voice on immigration law.

“He is very, very knowledgeable about all aspects of immigration law. I like to hear him talk because he comes from a very informed opinion,” said attendee Andy Bucker.

Some UTEP students voiced discomfort with the visit, noting that the university is majority Hispanic and in a community deeply connected to the immigrant experience.

“It is very troubling that Tom Homan has come here to speak because this is a majority-Hispanic university. Under Tom Homan’s leadership, most of our students here could be targeted by ICE regardless of their immigration status,” said UTEP student Naomi Reese.

The event concluded with both sides standing firm in their viewpoints. Supporters argued that open discussion is essential, while critics insisted that Homan’s presence sends a harmful message to immigrant communities on campus.

“In El Paso, I would rather see protesters come in and engage in a respectful manner so people can learn,” Bucker said.

Homan’s visit underscored the ongoing divide in El Paso over immigration policy, reflecting broader national debates playing out across the country.

EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — The White House Border Czar, Tom Homan, held a conference at the University of Texas at El Paso on Thursday.

Homan spoke and took questions at the Undergraduate Learning Center, room 106.

The event is hosted by Turning Point USA.

About 500 people attended the event.

Tom Homan said, “I don’t give a s*** what people think of me.” He said he is doing his job in protecting the country.

“Criminal cartels are animals. Secure borders save lives,” said Homan. He said he wants to stop kids from getting raped by cartel members.

“I don’t want anyone to die, that includes officers and aliens,” said Homan.

There were also several heated outbursts that interrupted his remarks.

The border czar, who was the star guest, eventually opened the floor to students and attendees for questions.

Some attendees asked about ICE enforcement, racial profiling, and holding agents accountable during raids.

“If you want to come to the greatest nation in the world comes through a port of entry,” said Homan.

Dozens of protesters gathered at Leech Grove on the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) campus to voice their opposition to Tom Homan's visit. Many El Paso residents expressed their disapproval of Homan, a former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, citing his association with policies they believe are harmful to immigrant communities.

Emil Esparza, one of the protesters, said, "I do not like the guy, I do not like the administration he comes from." He described Homan's visit to UTEP as "an extreme overreach" and "very insulting."

Irma Camacho from El Chuco Habla criticized Homan for authorizing tactics perceived as violent towards immigrants. "He is the one who has authorized the type of tactics we see not only here in El Paso but also across the nation," she said.

Turning Point USA provided the following statement:

We the students, in representation of the UTEP chapter of Turning Point USA, hope to bring back the concept of open dialogue and respect between parties of differing opinions. We hope that, in Tom Homan’s presence, we can pay homage to the hardworking individuals who sought out greatness for themselves and their families, and have participated in the legal immigration process, bringing great honor to their legacies to come. Mr. Homan expressed interest in visiting El Paso, as the city is notably known for its border location. As a city that has built its foundation upon that of immigrant families, Mr. Homan stresses the importance of legal procedure and how a lack thereof can greatly damage a city’s economic, social, and infrastructural statuses. As students who have maintained a non-inflammatory approach, we are disappointed to see that the city has chosen to base their opinions off of stereotypes and assumptions, rather than to see our humanity as so many folks ask conservatives to do for them. We will continue with our mission, aiming to challenge students to think for themselves, research, dig deep, and thrive in community that reflects what El Paso so deeply cherishes: faith, family, and freedom.

In a statement emailed to KFOX14/CBS4, UTEP said, "There are over 360 registered student organizations at UTEP. Registered student organizations are able to host speakers and other events on campus. The student chapter of Turning Point USA at UTEP will be hosting an event on campus in accordance with UTEP policies and procedures.”
